terpenoid

In organic chemistry terms the difference between terpenoid and carotenoid

is that terpenoid is a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber while carotenoid is of or relating to such a class of pigments.

As an adjective carotenoid is

of or relating to such a class of pigments.

As nouns the difference between terpenoid and flavonoid

is that terpenoid is (organic chemistry) a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber while flavonoid is (chemistry) any of many compounds that are plant metabolites, being formally derived from flavone; they have antioxidant properties.

As nouns the difference between sterol and terpenoid

is that sterol is any member of a class of steroids containing a hydroxyl group in the 3-position of the A-ring; they are found in all animal and plant tissue and play an important role in hormone chemistry while terpenoid is a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and terpenoid

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while terpenoid is (organic chemistry) a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber.

As nouns the difference between terpenoid and pristane

is that terpenoid is a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber while pristane is a natural saturated terpenoid alkane, 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane, used as a lubricant, an anticorrosion agent, and in medical research.

As nouns the difference between terpenoid and valerol

is that terpenoid is (organic chemistry) a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber while valerol is (obsolete|organic chemistry) a mixture of terpenoid alcohols obtained from the essential oil of valerian.

As nouns the difference between terpenoid and gifhornenolone

is that terpenoid is a very large class of naturally occurring and synthetic organic compounds formally derived from the hydrocarbon isoprene; they include many volatile compounds used in perfume and food flavours, turpentine, the steroids, the carotene pigments and rubber while gifhornenolone is any of a group of terpenoid antibiotics isolated from Verrucosispora gifhornensis
